A Gift of Champagne

Yesterday I managed to get through my family's Christmas dinner without accepting any of the frequently offered champagne. Despite fleeting thoughts of 'one glass' won't hurt... in my heart I knew differently. I am only on day 7 and the physical discomfort of the first four days is still fresh in my memory. I knew I didn't want to go thru that again. Unfortunately, one of the gifts that was sent home with me was a bottle of champagne. As soon as I got home I put the bottle in the garage with the idea of taking it to another function I am going to on Sunday. Despite all my resolve that this time is 'it'.... that bottle has been calling out to me all day. I have been in a total funk. I am still in jammies and have done nothing but sleep and eat all day.

Thankfully I came here and started reading posts. I am so grateful I found this site. The bottle is open now, and drained down the kitchen sink! What a relief. I hate the thought of the waste, but frankly I am not sure I would have lasted another day.

To the former addicts class of December '08!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome, way to take control of a tricky situation! You should be very proud. I imagine I would have felt the same way... it was such a good choice to pour it out. YAY!

Well Done on getting through your Family Christmas and getting rid of the Champagne yourself.

Thanks everyone. I do feel really good about staying strong today. I just got back from doing some shopping and some other errands to get me out of the house. I rented some movies and am going to enjoy the rest of my 7th sober day! woo hoo!
